Just saw the Mars helicopter made a successful flight...not much of a flight, but in air only 1% dense as ours, pretty impressive, and only cost $85 million. 🤔 :)

Good morning! 47ËšF heading to the 70s, cloudy. I also need to do an oil change but on the Ranger and since I have a coupon I'll take it by the dealer.

Randy let us know if you need us to stand by for extraction, we know a drone that can lift you but it will take a few years for shipping.
If the drone can lift its weight in 1% air then on earth can it lift 100 times its weight? stand by while we figure this out Randy.

FireWise is off this week our mulchers got covid.

for you guys that get cramps in legs, hands, feet or knees like I do. I use a mixture of pure orange juice (lemon juice will work too) and soda water.
Sweets will make my hands cramp up big time and very painful, so I grab the OJ and soda water. I mix it 1/2 and 1/2.

I eat a couple of mandarin oranges for dessert most nights. Wonder if that has been helping me.
Things that are sour or bitter seem to be good for us. Things that are sweet, not usually.

It has something to do with modifications in your skin causing one to be more susceptible to skin cancers

43°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 70° today. Naturally, with such a nice day today, we have sloppy wet snow in the forecast for tomorrow afternoon, and a low tomorrow night in the upper 20s.

Rained pretty much all day Saturday, so we both had an energy conservation day. I got the rest of the pasture mowed after work Friday evening in anticipation of the rain, so all was good.

Sunday morning we got to it right after breakfast, finishing up the rearranging of the garage. I took down two old wall-mounted cabinets from one corner by the overhead door, and we moved the dog stroller and its pulley lift over there. No more bumping our heads on it when walking past the passenger side of her car. Now, I only have to bump my head on it when I turn the compressor on and off. 😬 I also got out the portable table saw and modified the foot rest I made for her sewing room a few months ago. She wanted it a bit smaller, so I took it apart and cut it down. It also got some new, hardier rubber feet.

While we were admiring the slightly more organized garage, she looked up at the kayaks hanging from the rafters and noted that it was a pretty nice day (64°F and partly cloudy), and maybe we should take the kayaks to a lake. So, we did. We loaded them up and headed to the Old City Reservoir at Silver Lake Park in Highland IL. It's a smaller lake (about 18 acres) adjacent to the larger Silver Lake (about 550 acres). We paddled at a nice relaxed pace around the perimeter of the lake, and spent about an hour-and-a-half out there. Very nice, very peaceful. There were quite a few people fishing from various spots along the shore, but we were the only boats on the water, so we had it all to ourselves. It was a nice way to spend part of the afternoon. Admittedly, though, we're both a little sore this morning.

Drew, that is easily my favorite Corvette body style. That's a great-looking car your brother has.

I need to aerate our front lawn, too, Roy. We have a smaller aerator that we pull behind the rider. No fancy weights here, though, just cinder blocks.

Sorry to hear about your DIL's treatment at that facility, L4N. However, I can't imagine anyone would rather be somewhere other than at home with their family (including the fuzzy butts). I hope she finds some joy in her final days, and I suspect being at home will help that.

Man, I certainly hope that isn't true. I love both of those, and drink OJ pretty much every morning.

I know I couldn't have vitamin C during chemotherapy but immediately afterwards the hospital put me on it, or suggested
I take it, which I do. Centrum Silver plus two small oranges plus a Vitamin C tablet. That should be plenty. No scurvy here.
